Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

After briefly healing the crane's injuries, Shennong's usually relaxed expression turned serious for the first time.

Given Canghe's current strength, the fact that he could suffer such severe damage from just one deduction suggests that the power involved must have exceeded their imagination.

Having made up his mind, Shennong gave the strange altar a deep look.

Based on Canghe's deductions, it was clearly inappropriate to destroy the altar at this moment.

Now, it is best to report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible.

"Return to the capital!" Shennong was about to make the suggestion when Canghe spoke with a serious expression.

Upon seeing this, Shennong nodded solemnly without asking any further questions.

The two immediately grabbed the unknown entity bound by the laws of life, and in a flash, they appeared on the river surface. Then, they sped off towards the capital.

The two did not linger at all, and even the sealed-off wild god had lost interest at this moment.

As he passed through the northern region, Shennong glanced at the Northern City God Temple but did not stop, continuing his journey towards the capital.

Before long, the two had arrived in the capital.

Inside the imperial study, without even having Cao Zhengchun announce their arrival, the two immediately pushed open the door and entered.

At this moment, Xia Taige sat upright on the dragon throne, quietly watching the two of them. Clearly, he had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is something important?" Xia Taige was also a little puzzled by the two of them's anxious and flustered appearance.

With their combined strength, resolving the matter of the Northern City God would be a piece of cake for them.

Just in case, Xia Taige even had Shennong accompany him on the trip.

With such a configuration, even completely eradicating the entire Northern City God should be no problem at all.

"Your Majesty, I have made a significant discovery in the far north!"

Upon hearing this, Shennong stood aside, focusing his attention on the crane.

"Your Majesty, following the clues provided by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, I originally headed towards the far north to investigate."

"Upon arriving in the far north, a wild god appeared to obstruct us, attempting to cover up the truth and conceal the real event."

"After receiving the divine power of Shennong and subduing the wild gods, my two servants set off to explore the far north."

"Eight hundred paces below the river in the far north, another barrier was discovered. After breaking the barrier, this unknown entity and an altar were found."

"According to my calculations of the heavens at great cost, the other end of the altar is... a demon!"

"A world entirely made up of demons!"

Having said this, Xia Taige, sitting on the dragon throne, immediately became serious and his expression hardened.

Originally, it was thought to be just a simple matter of creating a god in the Northern Region, but unexpectedly, such a major discovery was made.

Before Xia Taige could think further, Cang He paused, then pointed to the unknown entity and continued:

"In my humble opinion, this person is very likely bewitched by the demon and wants to offer incense as a sacrifice to the demon, using the power of the incense offerings of the people to open a passage and allow the demon to descend upon the Nine Realms!"

From the calculations of the heavens, Canghe sensed endless demonic energy and several terrifying beings.

This is also why Canghe rushed back to the capital to report to Xia Taige.

Because even Canghe didn't know when the passage to the Demon Realm would open, or whether the power of incense offerings was already sufficiently complete.

All these concerns were enough to make Canghe forget about the Northern City God, the Day Wanderer, the Night Wanderer, the Wild God, and so on.

On the dragon throne, Xia Taige closed his eyes for a long time with a solemn expression before slowly opening them and looking at Canghe.

"Is it absolutely true?"

When the underworld suffered such a major disaster, Xia Taige knew that there must be a huge hidden danger lurking in the shadows.

Moreover, it is a powerful hidden danger with great potential for future problems.

Even though she had been mentally prepared for this, Xia Taige was still somewhat unwilling to accept it when she actually received the news.

Even a powerful force like the Underworld suffered such a severe blow.

Whether the Great Xia Dynasty could swiftly annihilate it, or whether it could withstand its invasion, is another matter entirely.

Indeed, if the Great Xia Dynasty is unable to quickly eliminate it, the entire Nine Domains will suffer an unprecedented disaster.

This is also why Xia Taige was unwilling to accept it.

But as Canghe had said, the day had come, though they were unwilling.

"It is absolutely true. Perhaps in ten years, perhaps in a hundred years, perhaps in a thousand years, the passage between the demons and the Nine Realms will be opened."

"Or, if the demon so desires, it's not impossible for the passage to open in the next moment."

Canghe's response completely extinguished the last hope in Xia Taige's heart.

At this moment, even Shennong, who was standing to the side, became solemn.

In Shennong's memory, the demon represented Rahu, and Rahu's power obviously needs no further explanation.

Although this demon may not be the same as that demon, even so, the power of the demon can still be glimpsed from this.

"After only a thousand years of peace, we are now facing another great challenge, which is truly a misfortune for the people of the Nine Regions!"

Xia Taige shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Tianyuan Continent had been in chaos for tens of millions of years. Now, it had finally achieved unification and stability, but not long after, another upheaval occurred, and for the people of the Nine Regions, this time it was likely to be a catastrophe.

"Your Majesty is merciful!" Hearing Xia Taige's words of gratitude, Canghe and Shennong also felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Ugh!"

"Send the order to wipe out the Northern Region. All the city gods and their subordinate deities in the Northern Region, leave no one alive, and send them all to the underworld to be judged!"

"The guilty shall be cast into the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reincarnated; the innocent may enter the underworld and serve there!"

"Order a thorough investigation of the day-roaming gods and night-roaming gods, and send all those who have come into contact with the Northern Region to the underworld."

"Order elite personnel to be drawn from institutions such as the Immortal Palace and the Offering Hall to supplement the Northern Region's divine system."

"The position of City God of the Northern Region will be temporarily filled by Shennong. Once in office, he should reorganize the Northern Region as soon as possible."

"All wild gods and cults must be completely eradicated!"

Xia Taige firmly believed that internal stability must come before external resistance, especially when facing a group that was extremely adept at manipulating people's hearts. Xia Taige could not afford to be careless in the slightest.

Xia Taige didn't want to find out, after a while, that the entire Northern Region had been completely infiltrated by demons.

If that happens, perhaps only one in ten people in the Northern Region will survive, which is something Xia Taige is extremely unwilling to see.

"Yes, Your Majesty's decree will be obeyed!" Upon hearing this, Canghe and Shennong immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.

This trip involves a great deal of people and has a huge impact, which even Shennong himself found somewhat troublesome.

Of course, the more this is the case, the more indispensable it becomes.

Xia Taige had absolute faith in Shennong.

"The necessary manpower can be mobilized from both the imperial court and the underworld!"
